    YES that was your best move sounds like a possible negligent repair.
    My car a renault was badly damaged, was repaired by a major renault
    dealer.I wasnt happy so I got an AA inspection and they came up with a whole list of stuff that had been missed!

    I'm hoping as well as having it booked in to be looked at,you have taken my advice and informed your insurer.

    They need to be told that the repair company haven't,allegedly,done the complete repair to make it roadworthy again,as they could be getting ripped off as well.

    It may be that you may be entitled to seek a second opinion at another place,to see if anything further needs doing.

    Just one further thing that I've just noticed.....

    You have it booked in for the 31st.:eek:

    I'm sorry,but if it was me,and I was driving around in a potentially lethal car,I would want it looked at a hell of a lot sooner.

    Ring your insurance company NOW,and insist that they do something about it immediately,or at least provide you with a car in the meantime,in order to continue your day to day life.
